Book excerpt: "The Scarlet Car" - Written in 1906, when automobiles were still something of a novelty, this is a set of three stories based on the adventures of Winthrop, Sam, Beatrice, and Peabody. First, they get accused of speeding in a small town, then the car breaks down on a remote country lane, and finally, they accidentally run down a man in the street while helping Peabody, an aspiring politician, run up the vote on election day. Can they keep this from costing Peabody the election? * * * * "The White Mice" - Four Americans make a solemn pact to combat tyranny and save human lives. Thus begins the Secret Order of the White Mice. Roddy Forrester's father owns the Forrester Construction Company, a big concern which builds lighthouses. To give his son a taste of business, he sends him to Venezuela as a foreman. But he doesn't want Roddy to know too much about company policy-least of all its political intrigues. Once there Roddy finds Don Miguel Rojas, a patriot unfairly put in prison. It's unlikely that anyone will bust him out, until White Mouse Roddy hears about his plight and decides to do something. * * * * "A Derelict" - Judged to be Davis' best short story, "A Derelict" is based on the battle of Santiago Bay (July 3, 1898) in which the American fleet destroyed the Spanish fleet. The story is in part an attack on Consolidated (Associated) Press, and a contrast between two newspapermen - a drunken CP man whose talent has been repressed by the CP's demand for cold, colorless "facts" and a ne'er-do-well free-lancer who is nevertheless a genius writer. * * * * "La Lettre d'Amour" - The lover who will take no, and goes on his way disconsolate, may live to love another day, and everyone is content; but the one who will not have no, who will not hear of it, nor consider it, has much to answer for in making life a burden to himself and all around him. This is the story of one such lover, and how Edouard, the second violinist, showed him the hopelessness of his position. * * * * This volume includes the complete text of all the stories, published in 1907, 1909, 1902, and 1902, respectively. Also included are the original 23 full-page illustrations that graced these stories. * * * * Check our other Children's, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Like us on Facebook for our latest releases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scarlet Car No old newspaper man can believe that there ever existed such a copy boy as Gallegher, or that a murderer with a finger missing from one hand could escape detection even in a remote country village. Greed would have urged the constable to haul to the calaboose every stranger who wore gloves. But he managed to attach so many accurate details of description to the romance that it leaves as definite an impression of realism as any of Mr. Howells's purposely realistic stories. The scene in the news paper o ice, the picture of the prize-fight, the mix ture of toughs and swells, the spectators in their short gray overcoats with pearl buttons (like most good story-tellers he was strong on the tailoring touch), the talk of cabmen and policemen, the swift ness of the way the story is told, as if he were in a hurry to let his reader know something he had actually seen - create such an impression of truth that when the reader finishes he finds himself pic turing Gallegher on the witness-stand at the murder trial receiving the thanks of the judge. And he wonders what became of this precocious infant, and whether he was rewarded in time by receiving the hand of the sister of the sporting editor in marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scarlet Car the Princess Aline For a long time it had been arranged they all should go to the Harvard and Yale game in Winthrop's car. It was perfectly well understood. Even Peabody, who pictured himself and Miss Forbes in the back of the car, with her brother and Winthrop in front, condescended to approve. It was necessary to invite Peabody because it was his great good fortune to be engaged to Miss Forbes. Her brother Sam had been invited, not only because he could act as chaperon for his sister, but because since they were at St. Paul's, Winthrop and he, either as participants or spectators, had never missed going together to the Yale-Harvard game. And Beatrice Forbes herself had been invited because she was herself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
